Christiaan Eijkman shared the Nobel Prize in 1929 for the discovery of vitamins. Eijkman went to Java to isolate the pathogen ca

using beriberi, an illness that appeared to be contagious as it was common in prisons and among ship crews. Eijkman noticed that chickens fed a diet of white rice also suffered from a similar disorder. When the chickens were fed a diet of red rice, the chickens quickly recovered. What can Eijkman safely infer at this point from his observations? (5 points)
a
Diet may be the cause of beriberi, but more research is needed.
b
Humans with symptoms similar to those of chickens should change their diet.
c
White rice contains little nutritional value for humans and chickens.
d
Beriberi is most certainly not a pathogen.

Answer:

a. Diet may be the cause of beriberi, but more research is needed.

Explanation:

As you can see in the question above, when the hens' diets were changed, they no longer showed signs similar to those caused by beriberi. Which means that there may be a relationship between the incidence of beriberi and food. However, this result may be just a coincidence, or it may not occur in humans in the same way that it occurs in chickens, which leads to the need for more scientific research carried out to test the relationship between the incidence of beriberi and the food of humans.

These researches have already been carried out and currently, it is already known that beriberi is indeed related to vitamin B1 deficient food.

Which best describes the process that the pest population has experienced due to this environmental change?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer;

Natural selection

Explanation;

-Natural selection is one of the basic mechanisms of evolution, along with mutation, migration, and genetic drift.Genetic diversity allows the different organisms to have different physiological characteristics. Some of them provides them with genetic resistance, others don’t. The ones which are resistant survive the pesticide, others don’t ; this is known as natural selection.

-Those that are resistant will live longer and have a larger number of offspring (reproductive success). From one generation to another, there will be more and more resistant pests (because of their larger offspring), and less and less pests that are not resistant (because they tend to die young). If the selection process goes on, someday the pesticide will be useless (it will kill no pest).
